Intel's Fabs are the best in class. There is a great and fast learning experience.

Cons

RCG's -recent college graduates have way higher salaries most engineers. Grading&Ranking system Focal-performance review can get you fired...or below expectation... 24/7 oncall work including nights&weekends without pay No work life balance. Turn over rate in Hillsboro Fabs is extremely high. Group Leaders and Area Managers and leaving the company as well. Hillsboro Fab hires mostly RCG's on H1B visa from India as Fab Managers are from India too. They will be stuck here for 5-6 years until get greencard.
